Gum Disease

During a routine preventive care exam, Dr. Bradley Dean will perform a periodontal disease screening to look for signs of gingivitis and gum disease at his Dallas dentist office. Dr. Dean emphasizes the importance of maintaining healthy gums for optimal dental health. Your gums support your teeth and play an important role in your overall health and well-being. Routine dental care is the best way to prevent gum disease. Your dental care routine should include daily brushing and flossing, as well as regular visits to Dr. Dean for professional dental cleanings and examinations.

Periodontal disease is an infection of the tissue that surrounds your teeth. Also referred as gum disease, it’s a silent disease that many do not know they have. Gum disease is caused by plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that builds up on your teeth due to lack of proper dental care. If left untreated, it can result in premature tooth loss.
